Description

This day-long retreat offers leaders and team members involved in children and young people's work in the Diocese of Southwark the chance to step back from ministry, and to reflect and recharge through silence, prayer and sharing experiences with others in the wonderful setting of St Benedict's Centre, West Malling.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?
